Burn or Blurb: Reader Spicy Takes

We collected spicy takes from readers on Instagram and we decide whether those opinions will be burned or blurbed.  Join 3,300+ Hardbacks on Patreon. Those readers get exclusive episodes like our Shelf Reflections series where we talk about what we've been reading, Building a Literary Villain, Odd Reader Out where two of us explain an unfamiliar concept to the third. Plus, our 2025 Book Superlatives and much more. Two exclusive episodes added every month. Use code BATEDBREATH now through March 6 to save 90% on your first month of Hardbacks. That's only $0.70 at patreon.com/shelfrespect.  The Popcast Flavor Town: Book Edition A Court of Thorn and Roses by Sarah J.
